Themes don't stick properly

[Mike.lifeguard]

Hi folks,

I've done System > Preferences > Appearance and switched to the
darklooks theme (which is super sexy, props to whoever did that). And
when I click on themes, the windows etc change, which is a nice change
from Windows where one has to probably hit a save button, wait, &
restart. And this sticks for most programs/windows, but I've noticed
that if I close firefox and re-open it, the skinning inside the window
is gone (ie it looks like something from Windows 95, ugh). If I open the
appearance dialog box, switch to something else and switch back, then it
gets skinned - until the program is restarted. This also affects
Evolution, so it's not a firefox add-on or something. Yet other programs
are unaffected.

I'm also running compiz for extra fun, which did cause issues at the
beginning, but seems to be running stably now, so I don't think that's
causing the issue.

Thanks for any advice,
-Mike
